permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standards for wireless mobile devices employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg).* Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the RCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of an
operating device can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
1.24 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.26 W/
kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has
granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC
ID QMNRM-60.
For body-worn operations, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with a carry case, belt clip or holder that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from
the body. Use of other carry cases, belt clips or holders may not ensure
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn
enhancement and are not holding the phone at the ear, positions the handset a
minimum of 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) away from your body when the phone is switched
on.
